Leitissimo Whole Milk

Leitissimo is a premium dairy brand based in Brazil, known for its unique 'grass-to-bottle' approach. Founded in 2005 by New Zealand entrepreneurs who sought to bring advanced pasture-based dairy farming techniques to the Brazilian interior, the company operates its own farms in the municipality of Jaborandi, Bahia. This specific location was chosen due to its favorable climate and water availability, allowing cows to graze on fresh grass year-round.

Unlike many traditional dairy processors that source milk from hundreds of different suppliers, Leitissimo controls the entire production chain. The milk is processed and bottled directly on-site at the farm shortly after milking, which ensures high quality and freshness. The brand has gained a strong reputation in the Brazilian market for its distinct PET bottle packaging and its focus on sustainability and animal welfare.

The brand is owned and operated by Leitissimo S.A., which remains an independent entity led by its founding group of New Zealand investors and local managers. Its commitment to the 'from pasture to bottle' philosophy continues to define its positioning as a boutique, high-end milk producer in South America.
